As many people will already know, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has for some time been experiencing problems with cheaters. PUBG Corp. has desperately been trying to find a solution to this growing concern, but the task has proved more difficult than first expected. While trying to develop an effective anti-cheat system, the developer of the popular game has not, for now at least, found any other solution other than to ban the worst offenders. The result: during the month of January nearly one million players were denied access to the game.

The news came via a post on Twitter that confirmed the following: "We have banned over 1,044,000 PUBG cheaters in January alone, unfortunately things continue to escalate."

A number of players are concerned by this spate of bans. Let's hope that the wave of cheating will run out of steam and that people will one day be able to play without bending the rules.
